Mycal Ford’s Video Adaptation of a Xi Chuan Poem

The above piece is a video shot & directed by Mycal Ford, a student at Pacific Lutheran University (the actress is Mikela Moore, and the voice-over work is by David Chen, both also of PLU). I find it a pretty fascinating take on one of Xi Chuan’s poems, “Sunset on the Square” 广场上的落日; while the poem read in Chinese in the video will not be included in Notes on the Mosquito, follow the link above to read Michael Day‘s translation, along with Ford’s discussion of the piece.
